About this image

The TNO was on the meridian in Cancer, and so took this sequence despite some fleeting thin cloud. Many fainter galaxies in this small area (ca 0.3deg). The TNO was measured at Mag 20.1R (no filters). Frames are dark subtracked, processed with DSS and AstroArt. Measured with Astrometrica (UCAC4).
